Eustace Mamba (b. 1992, NYC, USA) is an artist and designer whose interdisciplinary practice spans painting, collage, street photography, and mixed-media design. Rooted in his West Indian heritage and Manhattan upbringing, his work explores identity, community, and the fluidity of American life. Drawing from illustration, he constructs narratives that blend observation with invention, portraying both personal and collective experiences. Through repurposed materials and sewn elements, he challenges Western image norms while threading together themes of resilience and transformation. Mamba holds an MFA and BFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. His work has been exhibited widely and is included in the collections of the Woodmere Art Museum, the Petrucci Family Foundation Collection of African American Art, and the Museum at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.

"Surrounded By Fuzzy Friends", Human Figure, Bedroom, Stuffed animals, games
Located in Philadelphia, PA
"Surrounded By Fuzzy Friends" is a piece by Akira Gordon made from acrylic and oil on canvas. This piece measures 48"h x 60"w unframed. Akira hopes to give black people images that they can relate to in some way without making an overt political statement; instead, showing figures in leisure, doing the mundane and the ordinary. She finds the most authentic way to do this is through self-portraiture and referencing her experiences. She uses herself as a reference for her paintings because she believes examining your own life is important.
